Milan Management

[ACMILAN1983]

I agree nefremo, for an SD to be good on the market a lot depends on the scouting network they work with. That's not all an SD does mind, their role in managing the coaching and playing staff (as well as others) is valuable in ensuring the right environment is created to work well.

Anyway, I've been wondering how good our scouting actually is. Most of us dismiss it as poor, but if there's any truth to a number of the names we're linked to in the market, I don't think the scouts are bad, it's just they weren't listened to more often than not, because many of the names we're usually linked to are very good. Our scouting at youth level, particularly picking up very young talents is actually very good, so it seems strange that we wouldn't have a decent scouting structure in place at senior level too.

I don't really have any opinion on Mirabelli or whoever we're really linked to, because in all honesty we're not really in a position to judge, none of us know these people, their skill sets or views on doing the role. Even in the higher profile cases, like Maldini who I've said I want back (and still do), I can't say with certainty he'll do a great job, all of my opinions are solely based on what I've seen in the public view.
